Does anyone happen to have the measurements of the roadwheel diameter and the width of the wider track?
Thanks.

Roadwheels are 25 inches in diameter and the overall width of the track, which is to say the length of the hinge pins, is also 25 inches.

Thanks-that is most welcome news, as my newest project requires exactly those measurements. It must be my lucky day. I've been checking, and the bolt pattern, both outer and inner, is identical as well.

It must be, as the same wheel part is used for both inner and outer half of the road wheel.

I don't mean innner and outer in that sense. I mean there are two concentric circles of bolts-the outer set having 8, and the inner set, closer to the hub, having 10. But since you mention it, "inner" in the sense of "inboard", well, on the Trumpeter kit, there is no bolt detail at all inboard.
